You play as Richter Belmont, storming Dracula’s castle to rescue his kidnapped lover from the clutches of the dark lord and his cultist lackey, Shaft. It is a masterclass in 16-bit design, featuring branching paths, hidden secrets, and the introduction of the devastating 'Item Crash' ability. Whether you are playing as the agile Richter or the magic-wielding Maria Renard, expect a brutal, precision-heavy gauntlet that demands mastery of every jump and sub-weapon to survive.
